A Total Fire Ban has been called from midnight Tuesday 2 October through to midnight Wednesday 3 October.  In normal circumstances this would mean that the events scheduled for Wednesday, ie Schools Relays & Public Teams race would be cancelled. However, ACT Forests has graciously agreed for the events to proceed on the basis that all Total Fire Ban conditions are met: in particular no fires, no barbecues, that an evacuation plan is in place and that competitors are briefed on safety measures including the importance of carrying a whistle and responding to whistle alerts.  All competitors are required to observe and respond to all safety directions given by event officials.
